Chapter 438 Keep Your Distance
After Doctor Zhou left for a while, Yu Jiahui came back. She did not go to the Yan family, but came to the Jiang family first.
Ye Mingzhu was a little surprised when she saw her: "Jiahui? You came here alone?"
She looked behind Yu Jiahui and saw only two maids.
"Sister Ye, you promised to open a dim sum shop with me." Yu Jiahui acted coquettishly towards Ye Mingzhu.
"I've already written to my mother, asking her to clean up the shop for me. She also sent a pastry chef over to learn how to make pastries. How's that going? Am I fast?"
Yu Jiahui looked very proud.
Ye Mingzhu looked at her like a kitten that had eaten fish, and said with some amusement: "Let's go inside and talk first."
Yu Jiahui put her arm around Ye Mingzhu's arm in a familiar manner: "Sister Ye, I have prepared the shop and the pastry chef, you can't just ignore me."
Back in the house, Ye Mingzhu took Yu Jiahui's hand off her arm and asked, "I haven't agreed to you yet, and you've already prepared all this?"
"Sister Ye, you've already told me, think about it. You and my brother are so familiar with each other, and I won't take advantage of you. Why wouldn't you agree?"
Yu Jiahui had a bright smile on her face and leaned forward, looking at Ye Mingzhu.
"You've tasted the dim sum from Sweetheart Place just once, and you're so confident?" Ye Mingzhu has confidence in Aunt Mo because she has eaten many dim sum made by Aunt Mo, but where does Yu Jiahui's confidence come from?
"You don't know this, do you?" Yu Jiahui held her head high, her eyes full of pride. "I've loved dim sum since I was a child. I've tried dim sum from shops big and small in Beijing. As long as I think a shop is delicious, I will definitely open it."
"You are also a gourmet." Ye Mingzhu didn't expect that the young lady of the Yu family had this ability.
"Gourmet?" Yu Jiahui repeated and nodded. "I like this name. Call me Gourmet from now on."
"Opening a shop with you is no problem. I can also have someone lend me the house. However, I need to send someone to Beijing. Of course, I can also contribute part of the cost of opening the shop."
Ye Mingzhu said what she had thought of: "I want the shopkeeper of my shop to go to Beijing to learn some skills. When I open a bigger shop in the future, she will have experience."
Yu Jiahui had no questions about these, as long as Ye Mingzhu agreed to provide the recipe.
"Sister Ye saved my brother's life. I trust Sister Ye." Yu Jiahui smiled innocently and took a piece of paper from the maid. "This is the contract. Sister Ye, take a look. If there are no problems, we will sign it."
Ye Mingzhu took it, read only two lines, and then looked up at Yu Jiahui.
Yu Jiahui still looked at her with a smile: "What's wrong, Sister Ye, is there any problem?"
Ye Mingzhu lowered her head with a smile on her face: "Nothing."
After reading through the entire piece of paper, Ye Mingzhu asked, "Who drafted this contract?"
Yu Jiahui tilted her head: "My mother sent it here. Is there any problem?"
Problems? Of course there were. It said Ye Mingzhu only had to provide the recipe, not take care of anything else, and then take 20% of the profits.
Maybe the Yu family felt that Ye Mingzhu was taking advantage, but if Ye Mingzhu went to the capital to open a shop herself, her profits would be 100%.
Although she doesn't have the ability to open a shop in the capital now, it doesn't mean she won't be able to do so in the future.
The fact that the Yu family could write such a contract clearly showed that they looked down on her.
"I feel like opening a shop is a bit hasty. I need to think about it again." Ye Mingzhu handed the contract to Yu Jiahui.
"I'm not familiar with some of the people and places in the capital, so it's a bit hasty to open a shop there now. Perhaps, I can go there after I open more shops here."
Yu Jiahui became anxious when she heard this: "Sister Ye, you already have two shops in the county, so you don't need to open another one."
Ye Mingzhu nodded in agreement: "Well, my ability is limited, so I will just open these two shops."
Yu Jiahui stood up and moved closer to Ye Mingzhu: "Sister Ye, I really like eating the dim sum at Sweetheart House. Just promise me, if you think 40% is not enough, then 50%, or even 60% will be fine."
The maidservant beside Yu Jiahui tried to stop her when she said 40%, but in the end she failed and let Yu Jiahui say the rest.
Ye Mingzhu looked at the contract paper. It said 20%, but Yu Jiahui said it was 40%. She didn't want to find out whose fault it was. She felt that dealing with Yu's family was too tiring.
"Jiahui, I really don't want to open a shop in the capital. Whether it's 20% or a few percent is not important. Tell Shopkeeper Ruan what kind of snacks you like in Sweetheart Place and ask her to save some for you."
Ye Mingzhu had a pretty good impression of Jiahui. Although they couldn't cooperate in opening a shop, she could still leave some snacks for her.
"Twenty percent?" Yu Jiahui understood. She picked up the contract on the table, read it carefully, and then glared at the maid beside her: "Moli, what's going on?"
The maid named Jasmine beside her immediately knelt down, and Ye Mingzhu frowned.
Yu Jiahui had been paying attention to Ye Mingzhu and soon noticed it. She tried her best to suppress her anger and forced a smile: "Sister Ye, I'll go back first. We can talk about opening a shop together another day."
She walked to Jasmine, paused for a moment, and strode out the door. Jasmine immediately stood up and followed her.
Ye Mingzhu sent her to the door and watched her get on the carriage without saying anything else.
Regardless of whether it was the Yu family's or Yu Jiahui's intention to give her 20% of the profits, she was not going to open a shop with them.
At the beginning, the Yu family stopped Yu Jiaming from recognizing her as his sister because they looked down on her, so she had a bad impression of her family.
Although she never asked Yu Jiaming to repay her for saving him, it was the truth, and it would not be excessive for the Yu family to give her some shelter.
But the Yu family clearly looked down on her, so she kept her distance from them.
She now feels that it is a good thing that she did not open a shop in partnership with the Yu family, so as to avoid any conflicts in the future.
She has the recipe and money, so why should she open a shop in partnership with others? Wouldn't it be better to open her own shop and make money on her own?
Ye Mingzhu, having figured it out, prepared to talk to Ruan Linlin. They could hire more people and open their own shop.
Yu Jiahui, who didn't know what Ye Mingzhu was thinking, got very angry in the carriage.
"Moli, tell me, what's going on with this contract? Didn't I ask you to write 40%? Why is it 20%?"
Jasmine knelt in the carriage and whispered, "The letter from Madam mentioned 20%."
"Madam, madam, since you listen to me so much, then you can go and be my maid." Yu Jiahui threw the contract that she had been holding in her hand to Jasmine.
Jasmine lowered her head and defended herself, "Miss, Madam is doing this for your own good."
"For my own good?" Yu Jiahui snorted coldly: "It seems that you are really a loyal maid."
